It’s been way too long since I’ve been on here. To say there’s a bit going on is an understatement.

The November Art Auction got canceled 🍋 But a friend offer to share her booth at Saturday’s Tampa Bay Coffee & Art Fest! 🦄 @ FL Fairgrounds

16 of my paintings will be available. Here’s 4

Today, I was reminded to enjoy the journey. I get so focused on meeting some kind of goal, passing some kind of test, that I forget. I get overwhelmed with everything going on around me that I forget it’s OK to have fun, make a mess! Here’s my mess

Some recent experimenting…
Radiant liquid watercolors & acrylic inks on watercolor paper.

What’s your favorite thing?

Lavender fields & lone tree… From one of our workshops in Provence.
Lavender fields shows beautiful lines leading to a small tree on top of the hill. A spot where I always take participants of my photo tour in Provence.

From 6 years ago. A rarity to get all of them together & not killing each other. Sadly, Gennie (on the floor) is now gone. Pip looking like the meowanger she is.

The #BlueSkyArtShow this Saturday is for #Spring

Here’s one of my favorites from a trip awhile back to Rough Point. Doris Duke’s estate in Newport RI. It screams Spring & fairytale garden to me.

A tree in full flower of pink blossoms centered in the middle of a garden path. Other greenery and colorful flowers line the pathway. This garden is located at Rough Point Mansion—The former Newport, RI estate of philanthropist, Doris Duke.

#FebruArty #Pair

A pair of lotus leaves. Watercolors, acrylics and metallic lines help bring some dimension to this painting.

I always feel calm when I look at this.

It’s been a bit “too much” today.

Here’s the companion to yesterday’s abstract painting that was painted during a recent abstract painting workshop. Another one I’m letting marinate while I decide if I want to add more.

Just some getting into the Valentine spirit. The small painted canvases are what’s left from my book club’s Galentine Day get together.

Exploring watercolors interplaying with stamps, embossing powder, & wax.

Funny how sometimes you look back at a piece & realize, Hey! I painted this!” I was in a meditative state.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Reflections

The 2nd of 2 historical estates for today’s focus of Reflections. This is the stately Biltmore Estate in Asheville. This POV took my breath away when I saw it!

Taken in 2016 on my old iPhone 5c!

The Biltmore Estate home on the hill is reflected in a river found on the grounds. The home is framed by tree greenery both in real life and in the reflection.

#FebrArty #eyes

I found this one deep in the photography files. Elephants amaze me. Powerful, yet so gentle & loving with their young.

This close up of the eye makes me wonder all that is going on?

The texture & grooves of its skin catch my attention.

I’m having a bit of a day today. In case anyone one else needs a picture of one of my cats to try to cheer them up… here’s Pip.

#JanuArty #angle

I’m always intrigued by a spiral staircase. This one was a bear to climb with the tight angles of the steps to my big feet. 😂 Inside an old lighthouse, over 90 steps if I recall correctly.
